These papers describe techniques for assessing the structure and function of photoreception, both in isolation and in aggregation as the "receptor mosaic" of the retina. Also described are dynamic and spatial sampling properties of photoreceptors, with an emphasis on techniques of measurement and associated models of retinal function. This volume should be of interest to basic vision scientists, clinical ophthalmologists, workers in human factors, and computer scientists curious about the visual apparatus of biological systems. 606 $aPhotoreceptors$vCongresses 606 $aVisual pigments$vCongresses 615 0$aPhotoreceptors 615 0$aVisual pigments 676 $a591.1/823 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Vision. 712 12$aSymposium on Frontiers of Visual Science 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911103810703321 996 $aAdvances in photoreception$94766798 997 $aUNINA
